Whether it's climate change, poverty, or healthcare disparities, these problems are shaped by countless variables and often lack clear boundaries. No single discipline holds the key to addressing wicked problems; instead, it requires a collaborative effort that draws on insights from various fields, including science, humanities, social sciences, and more. The aim of the Wicked Problems podcast is to showcase the power of interdisciplinary approaches in addressing the pressing challenges of our time.
